Refusal of Planning Permission on 7th December 2016
Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The site lies outside the built up limits of West Hagbourne, which is classified as one of the "other" villages in the district: It is not identified for development in the Development Plan. The proposal does not represent infill development as defined by the Core Strategy and it is unsustainable as it has poor access to essential services and facilities and poor links to the main body of the village, the private car is likely to be the only mode of transport for the proposed development. The application does not accord with the district's strategy for growth and necessary infrastructure and the benefits of securing sites for self-build plots do not outweigh the harm in this case. The district does not have a 5 year housing supply but for the reasons set out the proposal is unsustainable in transport terms and therefore contrary to the NPPF, NPPG and policies CSS1, CSR1, CSM1 and CSI1of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy.
The proposal would amount to an unwarranted encroachment into the countryside detracting from the rural character, landscape setting and natural beauty of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the landscape setting of West Hagbourne. The development is therefore contrary to policies CSEN1 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Core Strategy, saved policies G2, G4, D1 and C4 of the adopted South Oxfordshire Local Plan 2011 and does not represent sustainable development as outlined in the NPPF.
The proposal does not provide a mix of units to meet the needs of current and future households contrary to Policy CSH4 of the South Oxfordshire Core Strategy.
